Hi Bev,
We are going to need Sherlock Holmes to sort this mystery out. What an intriguing plot!
Very well written - as always. And with some stunning artwork.
Well done.

Yes, don't you just love that picture by donkeyoatey. It's fantastic! And thank you for stopping in to review, my friend. Sherlock Holmes, indeed... Hugs, Bev
Comment from barkingdog
Excellent building of plot with leaving us to wonder what connection the Polaroids have with Jana. A relative perhaps?
Lots of infighting going on--always adds to the drama.
Keep going. This is great.

Hi, Ellen. I'm always pleased when I know you've enjoyed a chapter. Thank you, my friend, for your gracious and generous support. Hugs, Bev
Comment from seaglass
This is a well written chapter and the descriptive writing makes the scene visual to the reader. The scraping between the detectives is realistic as boundary bumping are always part of every job. I do not know the plot so maybe these two always do this. This is, I'm sure a very good book.

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
Another great chapter and a few more pieces to the puzzle, but I am more puzzled than ever. Guess I'll have to wait to the end to see who is doing all this. Not so sure it is Pearce. Well done. Rox

Comment from Cumbrianlass
What can I say, my dear Bev? Another remarkable chapter by a remarkable writer. So real - the atmosphere is authentic, the interaction spot on. I only wish I had a wee gold nugget still in my purse, but I'm all spent up this week!
Did you know your son was a monster...? - Wow. What a line. I got the chills. How many times, in reality, might this have been asked of an unsuspecting mother?
Agent Stredwick glared at the Sheriff, his face rigid with rage. "I don't need to be told how to do my work, Sheriff Oleson. - I wonder if 'job' might sound better than 'work'. Just a thought! It seems more natural off the tongue.
"Not necessary, Sir. Just doing all I can to put a soul()less - one word.
Truly a brilliant story - reminiscent of the exorcist and silence of the lambs.
Hope you're keeping warm!
Love and hugs,
Av

Hi, Av. I am honored by your wonderfully generous and encouraging review! Your words ARE gold to me. And I appreciate that bit of tweaking. Sometimes, I lose the forest for the tree LOL. I'm barely keeping warm. This weather is starting to get to me -- mostly just trying to get around with all the piled-up snow.
Have a good weekend, my dear friend.
Hugs, Bev

Tis awesome artwork. Great idea for the Rosary Room. Yes, Catholics revere the rosary and the Holy Mother. Excellent description of how Oleson felt at seeing the room and the objects. I am enjoying your story and I look forward to the next post.

Thanks so much, Kay. I love that picture, too. Used it quite a few times, and I never tire of the great graphics. Have a good weekend, my friend.

It is Australia Day on 26th - I don't celebrate it but many have a great time and immigrants get their citizenship papers too. Love, Kay.

That sounds a bit like our Fourth of July. It helps that our holiday comes during warm weather, though.
-
We are in the middle of a severe drought and heatwave - 65% of Queensland is drought-declared - next step is shooting the stock.

That's dreadful, Kay. I had no idea. Heart-breaking to think of having to kill the animals. I sincerely hope that doesn't become necessary.
-
The cattle can't survive on dust - there is no grass and the cattlemen have to feed by hand - Lucerne hay is too expensive. I can see a time coming when our men will walk off the land. Hugs XX

That's so sad, Kay. Events that will have serious repercussion for ALL of us. I hope that doesn't become necessary.

Comment from lindalcreel
I've been catching bits and pieces of this story, but really need to go back to the beginning so I can have a better sense of the characters. The plot is easy to understand, and I'm happy that you included the cast in the author's notes. This was well-written and allowed the reader to follow easily, and look forward to the next chapter. Thanks so much for sharing.

What a horrible scene! You handled it very well and I like this story. I am sure Jana will not be happy about any of this. I can't wait for more.

Comment from AprilShower
Again, this is well written, Bev. It appears that the whole mystery will be solved soon. Wonder why Agent Stredwick has a drinking problem. He seems like a very prideful person. I'm anxious to find out how this ends.

I think prideful people often use pride as a cover for insecurity. That's how I see Agent Stredwick.
Thanks for the very gracious and generous review, April. Your loyal following of this novel is very much appreciated.
